This is a poll over at Hardforum and at overclockersclub, so its time for one here.

How many people are planning on upgrading (to R700 or G200)? - [H]ard|Forum
Yes, Its Upgrade Time, Once Again. - OverclockersClub Forums

I am currently leaning towards a GTX280, however, I will still wait on reviews before making a final choice.

Common People, vote and reply more!!

Three total votes is simply unacceptable!!

I voted =) I picked the wait and see approach.

Do you really have to ask?

 

[Ste]

Yes, I do...

I can't afford new gen. Heck, I can't afford to build a new rig. I am hoping to possibly snag a new GFX card... maybe a 9600.

You forgot RV770. R700 is a dual core RV770...

I might end up with 1, 2 or even 3 4870's.... (3 if I go with a triple monitor setup, which would depend more on money than anything else)

I'm hoping the Thermalright HR-03 GT's will fit on the 4870's (I've got one on each of my 3870's)
It should be likely to work, since RV770 is not a big die (G80 and R600 required different cooling, because they were big and power hungry)
the HR-03 Plus (same as HR-03 GT, but different mounting) was able to cool the G80 series chips pretty well, and RV770 does use less power...

yeah, but the R700 = 4870 X2, not 4870 or 4850
4850 and 4870 = RV770

Uh, Etc still covers it....
